Bruny has a fantastic opportunity to show the world how to do it!
Good research is always framed by clear Research Questions The research questions we will be trying to answer belong in one of three distinct (yet distinctively overlapping) research themes: Technical, Financial, and Social
Good research is always framed by clear Research Questions The research questions we will be trying to answer belong in one of three distinct (yet distinctively overlapping) research themes: Technical, Financial, and Social Good research of course also requires good research material and willing research participants … for us this means you!
How do we successfully co-ordinate multiple, independent resources in an electricity grid to simultaneously meet multiple objectives? Can we prove that our distributed co-ordination approach provides optimal solutions and is scalable for widespread application?
How do we work out a fair and easy-to-understand method for valuing the contribution of solar and battery systems in managing the electricity network? What sort of reward mechanisms are most appropriate for encouraging battery owners to work together with the network operator?

How will people feel about the battery technology and about helping to managing the network? Does hosting the technology and having a better understanding of it change the way they use energy?

Participants will not ‘see’ a lot of the research happening. But, you will be committing to allowing us to send signals to your battery which reflect network needs and may influence the battery
And we may sometimes even do ‘funky’ things with your batteries – like discharge to the grid even when you’re not using much energy yourself. You will also need to willingly engage in surveys, interviews and energy diaries that form part of the social research. Participants are encouraged to stay engaged in other ways: check our web page often, read about our research findings and give feedback.

Reposit have introduced mobile application’s for Apple’s I phone and soon Google’s android platforms. Our apps will make sure you’re staying on top of your home’s energy use, even when you’re not at home. You can keep an eye on how your battery and solar are operating from anywhere
repositpower.co Live Notifications
The mobile application gives you real-time notifications for a wide range of events and alerts, including battery state of charge, communication interruptions, high usage alerts and when you’ve earned money for your energy.
